So, I have a store bought Asus CM6830-07 Desktop Computer. It has a ASUSteK Computer Inc Motherboard, Model CM6330_CM6630_CM6730_CM6830. I have an Ivy Bridge Intel Core i7 3770 Processor. The BIOS is American Megatrends Inc Version 0507. I bought 2 sticks G.Skill F3-1600C9-8GXM Memory that, of course, is rated for 1600 Mhz but apparently only if I can enable the XMS profile, there in-lies the dilemma. I can see the XMS profile in the BIOS but there is no way that I can find to activate it or even do a manual clock and I am stuck on the JEDEC profile that is under-clocking the ram to 1333 Mhz.
So, question is, am I just stuck with under-clocked ram or is there something I am missing to get the BIOS to let me use the XMS profile? Do I need to try and download some short of update for the BIOS (although I am currently running the most current profile that is released from the manufacturer) and run the risk of bricking my entire computer with a Non-OEM BIOS, or jut live with it stuck at 1333Mhz?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
